Just thought I would add my experience in the outside chance it could help.
I am using Procmail in my site-wide config.  I was also utilizing Procmail
for whitelist.  What I decided to do is turn off my whitelist and instead
force feed those messages to sa-learn as ham *just* prior to feeding to
spamc.  I have been utilizing AWL along with auto_learn.  To date, it has
been working great.  About 99% of the legitimate newsletters requested
advertisements that used to be FPs are not being tagged as spam anymore but
the spam hit is actually more accurate.  I have only had to hand-feed maybe
15-20 messages as either ham or spam to sa-learn.  It has mostly been
hands-off.  The only thing I really spent any time with is removing the
newsletters and requested advertisements from AWL so that it would rescore.
I am not disappointed.
